NetBoot Server Software

NetBoot is a revolutionary new technology that makes it easy to set up and administer a

network of Macintosh computers. NetBoot allows the computers on the network to run from

a shared System Folder and use shared applications stored on a network server. NetBoot also

provides users with secure access to the applications and personal ﬁles they need from any

Macintosh computer on the network.

Scalable File Services

Mac OS X Server is capable of supporting thousands of open ﬁles and over a thousand

concurrent users. Authorized users can access ﬁles from any AppleShare client over TCP/IP or

AppleTalk. User and group information can be shared among multiple servers, and

everything can be managed remotely using web-based remote administration tools.

QuickTime Streaming Server Software

Mac OS X Server also includes a special preview version of the QuickTime Streaming server.

QuickTime Streaming allows you to deliver rich digital media over the Internet or intranets

to any QuickTime-capable application. For information on how to obtain a compatible

QuickTime client, visit http://www.apple.com/quicktime/.

System Requirements

To use Mac OS X Server you must have a desktop or minitower Power Macintosh G3

computer with

m at least 64 megabytes (MB) of random-access memory (RAM)

To use a QuickTime Streaming server, a minimum of 256 MB of RAM is recommended; to

use a single service at full capacity, a minimum of 128 MB is recommended. Using

multiple services at the same time signiﬁcantly increases RAM needs.

m a hard disk with at least 1 gigabyte (GB) of available storage space (also see the hard disk

partitioning recommendations on page 10)

m built-in video or an Apple-supplied video card
